A Critique Of Philosophical Approaches To Criminal Justice Reform - 1,000 words
A Critique Of Philosophical Approaches To Criminal
Justice Reform People are arrested every day in
the United States. They are put on probation or
sent to jail, and sometimes they are let out on
parole; there are millions of people affected. In
1995 alone there were over five million people
under some form of correctional supervision, and
the number is steadily increasing. The
incarceration rate is skyrocketing: the number of
prison inmates per 100,000 people has risen from
139 in 1980 to 411 in 1995. This is an immense
financial burden on the country. Federal
expenditure for correctional institutions alone
increased 248% from 1982 to 1992. Obviously
something has to be changed in the justic ...

... at our justice system as it is now leaves a
lot to be desired, but I believe that the greatest
concern is not how to change criminals once
they've already been arrested, but how to prevent
them from becoming criminals in the first place.
My proposition is for society, as well as the
government, to turn its attention away from prison
reform and focus instead on the issues that lead
people to adopt a criminal lifestyle. There are
distinct environmental factors that are correlated
with criminal behavior. In 1991 a third of all
inmates in state prisons had been unemployed prior
to their arrest, and of those who had held jobs,
one fourth had only part-time jobs. In local jails
36% had been un ...

Alexander Popes Elegy To The Memory Of An Unfortunate Lady - 1,019 words
Alexander PopeS Elegy To The Memory Of An
Unfortunate Lady In Alexander Pope's poem "Elegy
to the Memory of an Unfortunate Lady," Pope uses a
great amount of war-like imagery to enhance his
vision of the suicide described. He creates allies
and enemies, weapons and invasions, as well as the
gruesome death that only seems to come from war.
These pieces add to the overall meaning of the
work and the vision of the event that has
occurred, giving the reader an image of a battle
occurring. The first images of the war or battle
are that of the victim of battle. Starting at line
four and extending to line ten, I find that Pope
is using a great amount of imagery to depict the
woman's wound and the f ...

ALFRED HITCHCOCK He was known to his audiences as
the 'Master of Suspense' and what Hitchcock
mastered was not only the art of making films but
also the task of taming his own imagination.
Director of many works such as Vertigo, Psycho,
The Birds and The 39 steps, Hitchcock told his
stories through intelligent plots, witty dialogue
and tales of mystery and murder. In doing so, he
inspired a new generation of film makers and
revolutionized the thriller film, making him a
legend around the world. His brilliance was
sometimes too bright: He was hated as well as
loved. Hitchcock was unusual, inventive,
impassioned, yet demanding. Alfred Joseph

United States have the right to enforce or ban the
law of capital punishment on a state level. Since
then, the punishments or scheduled punishments
have increased at a steady rate. Religious beliefs

righteousness of this act of punishment. Different
